In Pokhara!!!

Hello All,

KC and I have arrived in Pokhara, Nepal. It is as beautiful as the pictures. The Himalayas tower over the city in all their glory. They are huge.

Overall, our travel from St. Louis to Pokhara, Nepal, could not have worked out better. Allison and Dan treated us to dinner during our layover in DC. Qatar Airways treated us well; from the exit row recliners on our 12 hour flight to the cushy hotel stay in Doha, they took care of Red and I. Now that the day is night and the night is day, its time to get some rest. We are heading to the orphanage tomorrow for lunch and plan on moving into Sam's House on Wednesday. We are so excited to be here.

Pictures of the town and mountains are on their way. More stories to come, so keep checking in

Have you had any good curries yet?

Gordon and KC said...

Thank you all for your support and checking up on us. Its great to know we have so many people thinking about us. Just to let you all know, we are thinking about you as well.

In regards to curry, we eat curry everyday. The spices and vegetables vary from meal to meal. There is always a spicy chutney on the side. I ask for more and the didis know to only give KC a little. Its tasty stuff.
